Here’s the latest from our traffic partners INRIX:
All lanes open and traffic easing, accident cleared on M62 Eastbound between J26 M606 / A58 (Chain Bar) and J27 M621 / A650 / A62 (Gildersome).
Lanes three and four (of four) were closed, affecting traffic heading from Huddersfield towards Hull.
M62 accident
It’s reported that there are now three lanes closed on the M62 Eastbound between junctions 26 (Chain Bar) and J27 (Birstall).
West Yorkshire Police tell us that it appears to be a damage only accident and no one has been hurt. Not surprisingly tailbacks are building so avoid if possible.
Correction: Person seriously injured is a woman
Police have confirmed that the person trapped by the skip was a woman, not a man.
Accident happened at Colne Valley Skip Hire
Skip accident investigation
The skip accident in Slaithwaite was attended by fire crews from Slaithwaite, Huddersfield and Cleckheaton.

Pictures from the scene
Serious injuries
We’ve had an update on the man injured in Slaithwaite.
He suffered serious chest injuries and was airlifted to Leeds General Infirmary.
We’ve just had this from Watch Commander Matthew Green, of Slaithwaite Fire Station, who said: “He was badly pinned between the skip and the wheel and we needed to use spreading gear and hydraulic rams to free him.
“We worked alongside paramedics who were constantly assessing his condition and giving him pain relief. The rescue operation took around 30 minutes and he was in a lot of pain.”
More as soon as we have it.
Man hurt
A man has been hurt in what appears to be a workplace accident in Slaithwaite.
The man was unloading a skip from the back of a lorry in a skip hire yard beneath the railway arches off Clay Lane when the accident happened. Emergency services were called at 3.15pm.
The man was crushed between a skip and one of the lorry’s wheels. He was found slumped by workmates.
